The article analyzes the relationship between social laws and the self in Gothic fiction, and argues that contemporary English Gothic fiction enacts the way subjects adhere to social practices and structures. In this scenario, characters are monsters of social conformity and docility. On this basis, Susan Hill‘s The Mist in the Mirror and The Woman in Black can be interpreted as critiques of the masculine quest for identity by means of adherence to the family as institution and habitus. The novels represent this process of ideological adherence by creating a dehistoricized plot and setting haunted by a ghost exerting what Bourdieu calls symbolic violence on the protagonists, and from which women have been absented.

\"[Lisa Bullwinkle] has an eye for this type of event,\" interim Recreation Director Penny Robb said. \"It gets really crowded, especially with long lines at the food stations,\" Commissioner Kim Hebert said. \"We could use the youth volunteers to work at the carnival and not have to hand out burgers. The event is a lot of work.\" In other business: Retiree Sal Crispi, a 30-year track and soccer teacher for the Recreation Department, was honored and recognized for his \"relentless work ethic\" and commitment to youth for three decades.

\"I do think people put themselves through it a bit,\" she says, lowering her voice to a confiding tone. \"They have almost a belief that it's got to be agony.\" By contrast, she generally writes just one draft, and if she finds herself spending a morning crossing out, \"then I think there's something wrong here and the something wrong is usually the book\". She disapproves of pseudonyms: \"I think you've got to put your name to something.\" More than once as we talk, in a hotel opposite Norwich cathedral, she rolls up her sleeves. She believes hardback first editions of novels are on the way out - \"It's crazy, I don't think people want rows of hardbacks on their shelves\" - and that local bookshops must work harder if they are to survive: \"I'm not one of those people who hates Amazon because they're big. Why pay a third more for the same thing? It's not like paying for better-quality vegetables or meat. Why would you pay pounds 18 when you can pay pounds 9?\" \"Being a serious writer\" is her own most important task, too. Earlier this year she bought a new fountain pen and now writes with this, using voice recognition software instead of typing up by hand. \"There was a period when publishers wanted novels by the pound,\" she says, but now shorter forms are back. \"I've never written poetry, I'm not a poet, but I think the nearest you get is either the short story or the novella, in that you can't waste a word, there is no hiding place, everything's got to be seen to relate and the prose counts.\"

\"He was always at the forefront,\" said former Mayor Susan Hill, who co-founded the event with Drum in 1999. \"He loved the community, and he wanted the Harvest Festival to reflect the community.\" \"There was a lot of reluctance; vegetables were seen as a lower-class (gardening) effort in Piedmont,\" she said. \"Most people didn't believe us when we said there were a lot of growers.\" Hill said the festival, even as it morphed into a larger community event, \"was exactly what we have hoped for.\"IF YOU GO What: Piedmont Harvest Festival When: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday Where: Piedmont Community Center, 711 Highland Ave. Cost: Free Information: www.piedmontharvestfestival.org
